Re: [Plugin] Another Mirror Ruby

TIG

Here's v3.2 with the toolbar option added.
Otherwise the script's workings are unchanged.
It's been fully tested and works when activated from the Menu, the Context-Menu, a Shortcut or the new Toolbar.
If the MI.png file is not found with the .rb file then the toolbar is NOT made.
You can activate this new 'Mirror' toolbar from View>Toolbars.
Put these 2 files into 'Plugins' - you can omit MI.png [or rename] it if you don't want a toolbar.Mirror.rb

EDIT: NOTE THAT THE LATEST VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE HERE http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=276512#p276512

I think a variant of the Mirror Plugin, should consider creating a toolbar with 3 buttons: each one would perform the mirror simmetrically to one of the axis, asking before the operation to click on the plane to define the start of the mirror line.

It would work similarly to rot90 plugin, but for the mirror.

I hate myself for not being able to code, otherwise I'd do it myself!

Thank you very much, a basic tool and very useful!

Thank you...works great, once I figured out to "right-click.save as" the image.

Thanks for the script. However, I get a Bug Splat when I do not erase the original. I do not have this problem with SU 6. I'm running SU7.

Bugsplat with Outliner open! SU7.

I'm getting the bugsplat as well and I'm using Su6. It worked fine before. But not working these days?
It occurs when answering "no" to erase original. BUGSPLAT! everytime.

There error occurs with all three scrpits that I have: mirror 3[1].0rb , mirror2.8.rb and mirror.rb.
I tested each one while temporarily renaming the others and each one failed with a bugsplat.
Might there be conflicts with some other script(s)?

dedmin

Can the Bugsplat when Outliner is open be fixed? I always forget about this and crash SketchUP!

TIG

You have to 'roll-up' the Outliner window to avoid a splat - it's a known issue with Sketchup itself... not any tool per se... You should never use any tool that makes and deletes instances in succession with the Outliner 'rolled-down'...
I have posted an updated version here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=276512#p276512

Don't worry about the 'group.make_unique is deprecated...' error messages - it's a known mistake in the API error reporting, and Thomthom has been pressing to get it removed - you DO need to use group.make_unique in some circumstances...

dedmin

I see - thanks TIG!
